$$\begin{gathered} CHA \\ - - \end{gathered}$$                            $$\begin{gathered} CBA \\ - - \end{gathered}$$

$$\begin{gathered} RS \\ -- \end{gathered}$$                             $$\begin{gathered} RS \\ -- \end{gathered}$$       

The Correct Sequence is :

Plant     Grain     Dough     Bread     Sandwich

Cup is used to drink something with the help of lips. Similarly, birds collect grass with the help of beak to make her nest.

Hence, Cup : Lip :: Bird : Grass.

Given number series 131 + 17 = 148 148 + 19 = 167 167 + 23 = 190 190 + 29 = 219 219 + 37 = 256

Here addition is based on 17 + 2= 19, 19 + 4 = 23, 23 + 6 = 29, 29 + 8 = 37

Two series alternate here, with every third number following a different pattern.
In the main series, 4 is added to each number to arrive the next.
In alternate series, 5 is subtracted from each number t arrive the next number.
Here in the main series
3 + 4 = 7
7 + 4 = 11
11 + 4 = 15
15 + 4 = 19

In alternate series
24 - 5 = 19
19 - 5 = 14...
